My name is Mwali Kabongo. I am a Congolese national by birth. I was born in Kipushi. Kipushi is a town in hot Haut-katanga province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It lies 35 km southwest of the city of lubumbashi, very near to the border with Zambia.
I went to primary School Dilungu 2 in 1978, then terminated my school earlier than i was supposed to finish .
I started my business in 1990 during the time of president kabila, had some successful and wonderful business, but at some point failed to run because of the wars we could experience.
In 1997 i shifted to zambia where i got married i started business again and now i run shop clothing i buy from congo to bring into zambia.
My husband worked for the mines and he gave me money to start the business with.
After the money i received from my husband i started selling material we call here in zambia as chitenge this business was helping me to the last such that i was abe to go and buy materials from congo o bring in zambia for reselling that kept me improve
My aim it to remain in this business because of the outcome of the business i will keep on travelling to congo so that i continue bringing the materials for sale.
